    This is just not a good breakdown. Spends almost half the video introducing the idea (with a minute of that saying “a team in the NBA is playing well on offense” without saying that the team is the Pacers for some reason) and then does a poor job of just pointing at numbers and going “good” “efficient” “transition”.

    I like the Pacers and a real breakdown of their offense is always cool. I suggest people check out Caitlin Cooper’s work about the team to get actual valuable analysis there.

    off topic but advertisers got smarter against adblock and have people doing commercials directly inside the video now. especially for basketball vids it feels like every single basketball podcast/video does it now

      There kinda was no point. Shooting threes is good when you’re good at shooting threes? Being able to operate pick and rolls effectively is good? Bunch of highlights of them being a good quick strike transition offense but then also pointing out their transition efficiency is pretty mid. This was not his best video.

    The pacers didn’t come out of nowhere. Hali and Turner were hurt for big chunks of the season last year. They had a great start last season as well.

    It’s almost like they have a coach who has consistently produced some of the most efficient offenses in nba history or something
